The problem you are having is somewhat similar to the one explained
here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271268 Keep in mind that Roxio
bought Adaptec eons ago and anything refering to Adaptec usually
includes Roxio.
Try removing the Adaptec/Roxio plugin in Media Player. If that doesn't
work the fix to your problem might be to change the Start value from 1
to 3 at these registry keys, but Roxio may not work properly if you
change the start values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdr4_2K
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdralw2k
The problem with Roxio is that if you are not careful when you try to
remove it or change some of the start values of its components it may
throw an 0x7b error at you when you reboot the computer, that problem is
